A country girl goes to the big city where she faces the lures of glamor and temptation mingled with the wiles and snares of deceit. All this could become ruinous or could be overcome by hard work and attention to the values which motivate good choices.

Soon! We will celebrate the Boeing 707 Inaugural Flight of January 25, 1959. I ask myself over and over, "Has it really been 56 years?"Yes, the years slip by and the memories of that historical flight for American Airlines are as real as the yesterday years.The excitement was stepping from the Propeller powered aircraft to the Jet powered aircraft. I remind myself that the most of you out there do not know how it was to fly on those wonderful aircraft before the Jet age.

Yes, there was time to learn our guests names, hang

coats, have a pillow in hand along with a blanket,

pass out magazines, hug babies, and welcome them

again and again with the same hospitality.

Then came the beautiful Boeing 707 for us to learn a new way of life.
